Oilers' Connor McDavid: Two helpers to extend point streak
Rotowire
McDavid recorded two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.
McDavid recorded a multi-point game for the fourth time across his last five contests, and the star playmaker has been on a tear lately, recording at least one point in each of his last nine appearances to reach 13 scoring contributions (two goals, 11 assists) over that stretch. McDavid is having another excellent season and has notched 84 points in only 59 contests, and with 16 games remaining on the Oilers' schedule, the 100-point plateau should be within reach for the 28-year-old for a fifth consecutive campaign.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Goal but game not in sync
Rotowire
McDavid scored Canada's lone goal in a 3-1 loss to the United States on Saturday at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.
McDavid broke into the zone fast, stepped wide and protected the puck from Charlie McAvoy. McDavid then lifted a backhand over Connor Hellebuyck's glove from the right side. It was a nice goal, and it earned him the game's third star, but McDavid had a frustrating night overall. He was hammered twice on big hits from McAvoy, and he struggled to get in sync with any wingers. There will be some line changes for Monday's game against Finland -- Canada needs to get this guy going.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Could face supplemental discipline
Rotowire
McDavid received a match penalty for cross-checking Conor Garland at the end of Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
A match penalty requires an automatic review for supplemental discipline by the league. McDavid was likely already lucky to avoid a fine or suspension earlier in the week when he elbowed Marcus Johansson of the Wild in Wednesday's contest. However, the Edmonton captain may not be as fortunate this time around. McDavid has racked up five goals and six assists over his last seven appearances after picking up a power-play helper Saturday. If there's a suspension, Leon Draisaitl would likely take over on the top line, while other forwards would pick up a little extra ice time to cover the absence.
